Governance Disruption: How AI Changes International Law presents the following source proposition: After defining ‘governance disruption’, and illustrating the historical connections between technological innovation and legal change, it makes the case that we have strong reasons to expect international law to be especially susceptible to disruption by AI. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Nokia, Kodak, and Blackberry all collapsed after fast changes in their markets rendered their products and services irrelevant, illustrating that successful companies drift into obscurity when they fail to embrace change. The proposed response is an extension: the relationship should remain limited to the retrieved source proposition and the mapped Kaal claim unless fuller source review supports a broader conclusion.

Affirmed commentary position. This record extends a source-bound scholarly claim but is not a verbatim paper claim.
